1925 Rolls-Royce Springfield Silver Ghost Left-Hand-Drive
Silver Ghost Left-Hand-Drive
Moreover, despite this car now being 100 years old, it has - to our knowledge - never once failed to start, so intense is the attention to detail lavished on every aspect of what is almost certainly the very finest example in the world of a Silver Ghost of its vintage.
This is one of the very last left-hand-drive Silver Ghosts, which only were made in the final series of this Rolls-Royce model being manufactured in Springfield, Massachusetts.
And with the Ascot body that was an addition in 1990 - the only example of a Silver Ghost so enhanced - our car certainly qualifies as one of the most sexy Rolls-Royce bodies ever produced. Such sultriness is only enhanced by the car's beautifully sculpted fenders with the sumptuous curvature of end-of-the-twenties styling on a 1925 Silver Ghost chassis.
This unique model is beautifully detailed in a captivating burgundy exterior color, gracefully set off by its spectacular polished aluminum and nickel-plated components. With its chassis number S206ML, your drive in this Silver Ghost - campaigned by Silver Ghost mega-guru Steve Litton - is guaranteed to be puissant and slinky.
Having won numerous national awards at Rolls-Royce meetings, this is certainly the most desirable, most beautiful Silver Ghost in existence.
Under the hood, the 7,428 CC inline 6-cylinder engine is a marvel of power and reliability, performing well on its extensive tours across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the United States.
The addition of a Gear Vendor overdrive naturally enhances the car's touring capacity, making it a joy to drive even on modern roadways. The chassis, detailed in burgundy, is ready for Concours display with minimal additional detailing, showcasing the vehicle's power and smoothness. Additional equipment includes a convertible soft-top, dual-front windshields, comfortable bench seating, weather gear, dual-side rearview mirrors, and 21-inch wheels with Firestone white-wall tires.
This brilliant vehicle boasts an $18,000 investment spent on it in July 2015 (service receipt copies are included) on authentic tan leather upholstery, offering just the right amount of patina to reflect its storied past. The interior is adorned with exquisite woodwork, featuring two complete bands of inlaid mother of pearl, secured by perfectly aligned flat-head screws - a testament to the meticulous attention to detail in its restoration.
This history of this classic tells a special story. Originally ordered by Paul Grant of New York City, Chassis S206ML was delivered as a Sudbury sedan on May 18, 1926.
The vehicle's further provenance is meticulously documented in numerous books, factory records, and Rolls-Royce Owners' Club (RROC) publications, tracing its ownership from A. Harling of Maryland in 1965 to Kenneth Wessel of Ohio in 1986, who undertook a comprehensive restoration that earned accolades at the 1990 RROC Annual Meeting in its present Ascot dual cowl phaeton configuration.
With a legacy of national awards from the RROC and a storied history of touring tens of thousands of miles across three continents - the United States, Europe and Australasia - S206ML is a testament to the enduring allure and performance of the Silver Ghost lineage.
This Rolls-Royce is not just an exotic classic car; it is a masterpiece of automotive art, a symbol of luxury, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Rolls-Royce craftsmanship.
The Silver Ghost community is vast and supportive: tours are held worldwide, celebrating these cars' enduring design and exceptional handling for their era.
